00:0056 for one, Dhawan being LBW to Dilravan brings Cheteshwar Pujara to bat.
00:09It's less than 15 overs on the first morning.
00:12Oh, that's a fine shot.
00:14He does love coming down the wicket to the finger spinners.
00:19Does Cheteshwar Pujara and that's a shot of a man backing himself and a man in form.
00:24And a man who's reading the game well.
00:26The previous delivery slightly shorter, maybe even good length.
00:31He was on the back foot.
00:34In the day.
00:36Sweeping and sweeping perfectly fine because there's no man in the deep.
00:41Gets himself a boundary.
00:47Now that'll run away and has enough on it to get to the boundary for four.
00:52Just finishes off what is a good over the boundary.
00:55133 for two.
00:58That's his 50.
01:02Well played.
01:0415 is 50 at best.
01:07Top innings and appreciation there from the dressing room.
01:11That's too short.
01:15That is really too short.
01:17That has been the problem.
01:18At that pace, when it's drop short, look at that.
01:21Just 73 Ks.
01:22Plenty of time.
01:23Well, that's exactly what I've been saying.
01:25He's probably bowling the line, the length which is more for a real turner.
01:31This is very good footwork.
01:32Very good use of the depth of the crease by Chetishwet Pujara.
01:41Yeah.
01:44Oh.
01:48Beautifully punched.
01:51Now, would Ranganai Hirath be having thoughts about his injured finger?
01:56Because it was to the same side.
01:59He's punched away.
02:00This is the left-hand side, and that's where he's got that bad bruise.
02:09Might be keeping up with that.
02:10That will race away for four.
02:13Don't even try keeping up with that, because the placement's so good.
02:20Now, he's called for two again, Pujara.
02:22He should get those two.
02:23He'll come back for his 100.
02:25Century number 13 for a wonderful player.
02:31He's got three in a row now against Sri Lanka.
02:33He loves manufacturing them.
02:34He just goes to the crease.
02:37And he likes making hundreds.
02:38A good old-fashioned test match cricketer.
02:40A mighty good one, too.
02:43As far as Sri Lanka is concerned.
02:47Worked away.
02:48Worked away well.
02:49He just drifted onto the pads.
02:55Well, he's got a strong off-site field,
02:57but his ball is nice, juicy half-volley.
03:00Look at the way it's curving in on the leg's thumb.
03:04And Pujara is very good.
03:06If you have a look at Pujara's back lift,
03:07it comes in such a way that this shot becomes easy for him.
03:11Back lift comes from around the second, third slip area.
03:14Easy to play through the onside.
03:17Oh, good stuff. Good stuff.
03:19Well, that one there is very similar to yesterday morning.
03:25They're going to have a review here.
03:28I think we need to take the voice of third umpire Richard Illingworth.
03:31If you can have a look at the front foot first, please.
03:37Yeah, it's a fair delivery.
03:38If you can have a look at front-on spin vision, please, Simon.
03:47Doesn't look like any bat there.
03:50Yeah.
03:51Pitching outside off, impact in line.
03:57And hitting the stumps.
04:00There as well because yesterday's one was very similar
04:02and it bounced a lot more.
04:03So, no issue with that.
04:05I can understand why, but a very good review from Sri Lanka.
04:09Pujara goes for 133, 350 for four.
04:13For four.
04:14For four.
